Seattle Sounders Report 5-14-13: Sounders shake the Quakes; Defeat them 4-0

BY: Christina Schell

 
It was the team I have been looking to see all season; the Sounders that come onto the pitch with confidence and soundly defeat their opponent, the Sounders that play solid defense and make runs when they need to. Those were the Sounders I saw on the pitch on Saturday.

2013-14 Seattle Seahawks Regular Season Schedule Analysis



BY Tyler Sniffin

 

 How’s it going fellow 12s and Seahawks fans across the globe, I’m finally back! It’s been awhile since my last article and I apologize for the wait. I’ve been really busy between school and work so I’m finally settling down and getting back into the swing of things here on my blog. Today I’d like to give my thoughts on the Seahawks Draft as well as my complete prediction of the Seahawks 2013-14 regular season schedule. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the read.

Sounders stun Sporting KC in stoppage time; win 1-0

By Christina Schell
 

The game itself wasn’t all that interesting to be honest and the Sounders and Sporting Kansas City looked to be headed to a 0-0 draw. Then it happened, like it’s happened before in Kansas City, the Sounders score a late goal and win the game. The Sounders are now 6-1-1 against Sporting KC.
It was magical and I’m sure my entire neighborhood heard me screaming with joy when Djimi Traore scored a goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time. It was opportunistic as KC’s Aurelien Collin whiffed his attempted clearance and Traore was there to take the short range shot past the keeper. Right place, right time and little bit of magic worked in favor of the Sounders last night.

Seattle Sounders Report 5-7-13: Sounders play to a 2-2 draw against the Union

By Christina Schell, Seattle Sports Hub Sounders Writer

The Sounders were on the road Saturday in Philadelphia to play the Union at PPL Park and it was an interesting game to say the least.

The Sounders opened the scoring in the tenth minute when Eddie Johnson took a corner from Mauro Rosales and headed it into the net. The Philadelphia keeper Zac MacMath tried to make the save but couldn’t. It was nice to see the Sounders score early and they would hold that lead through the first half.
Philadelphia answered back in the second half and in the span of less than 2 minutes scored two goals. Danny Cruz of the Union scored twice on rebound balls that seemed to fall right at his feet. He made the most of the opportunities, that’s for sure.  The Union created more chances for themselves that Seattle defended well. They also had opportunities that were just unlucky like in the 32nd minute when McInerney headed a shot off the cross bar.

Seatle Seahawks: Meet The Monster: Jesse Williams

By Jonathan Curry    
In the fifth round, with the 137th pick of this year's NFL draft, the Seattle Seahawks drafted DT Jesse Williams, Alabama.  

The Seahawks' off season moves from free agency through the NFL Draft definitely have gotten fans excited for the upcoming season.  

I have five bullet points to discuss why I believe the drafting of this monster from Brisbane, Australia, will prove to be one of the key moves of the off season for the Hawks.

Seahawks’ 2013 Draft Days 1-2: Getting Greedy



 
By Aaron Bean
If you, as a Seahawks fan, were feeling a bit left out on Thursday as 30 other teams drafted hopeful future superstars (the Buccaneers traded their first rounder to the Jets for Darrelle Revis) then you were not alone. I’ll admit that at times as I saw the young players announced and saw their highlight tapes, I wished that I could see the giant Seahawks logo behind Roger “Big Fatheaded Jerk” Goodell. I wanted to see the Seattle “war room” and see Pete and John fervently making phone calls, chest bumping, shot-gunning beers, and drafting unknown players that Mel Kiper would call “longshots” (Russell Wilson? Lol!). But then I remember… the Seahawks essentially traded the 25th pick of the draft to the Vikings for Percy Harvin, a proven young wide receiver that is one of the most dynamic playmakers in the league. For Pete’s sake (pun intended), Percy is only 24, two to three years older than these rookies. The Rams traded up to the 8th pick and selected Tavon Austin, a player who has been compared to a smaller, less physical Harvin, so the fact that we got Harvin 17 picks later is pretty amazing. I think any analyst that factors the trade for Harvin into the draft would conclude that the Seahawks had the best first round of any team.

Huskies Report 4-25-13: UW's Trufant drafted by the Atlanta Falcons

By  Nicole Matheson
 
Tacoma native, University of Washington cornerback, Desmond Trufant, was the Atlanta Falcons’ 22nd selection of the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft Thursday.

Trufant follows in his brother’s footsteps being the third to be drafted into the NFL. His oldest brother, Marcus Trufant, has had 11 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, while brother, Isaiah, has three years with the New York Jets.

Moving from No. 30 to No. 22 gained much attention from the Falcons. In his four years at UW, Trufant started in 45 games in row, gained 195 tackles, and six interceptions. If this wasn’t enough for the Falcons, strategic plotting came to play with the Jets gaining No. 9 cornerback, Dee Milliner from Alabama and the No. 12 cornerback, D.J. Hayden from Houston drafted to the Raiders. The Falcons needed a impressive cornerback to compete having lost three cornerbacks during the offseason.

Desmond Trufant proudly celebrated amongst friends and family at the UW of Tacoma campus, tweeting, “Proud to be an Atlanta Falcon in the RED and black #Tide.

Seattle Sounders Report 4-25-13: Sounders earn first win of the season!

By Christina Schell
The backflip told the Sounders story on Saturday in Colorado when Obafemi Martins scored his first MLS goal. Sharlie Joseph blasted a shot into the box which Colorado’s Clint Irwin had to dive for and on the rebound Martins came in and cleaned up. That would be the only goal on the day and the Sounders would finally get their first win of the season.

From The Desk Of Taylor Gombos: The M's Are Still Horrible



So finally I have decided to bring this really exciting and somewhat crazy article segment back to this blog, The Seattle Sports Hub.

That's right From The Desk of Taylor Gombos is back and better than ever....well of course that is a matter of opinion.  Some might think that From The Desk Of Taylor Gombos is totally crap that’s fine but all of you have your own opinions about me and this blog. 

For those who are new, this is what I love to do, I love to rant and rave and talk to my reading audience whomever they may be and I do it with what I like to call asides, there will probably be many of these asides in this installment of From The Desk Of Taylor Gombos but let’s get on track now.

The Seattle Sports Hub: Sounders still looking for their first win

By Christina Schell
The Sounders will travel to Colorado this weekend to face the Rapids bringing their 0-3-2 record with them. The Sounders will be looking for their first win of the season once again.

Two goals in five games have the Sounders in last place in the West and the only winless team in MLS. Not exactly something fans want to brag about.
The Sounders according to Sigi Schmid will have most of the players healthy and available for this weekend’s game. That’s good news as long as that can translate that into making runs, playing a solid defense and scoring goals.

This is the worst start for the Sounders and it makes it hard to write about a team you love that just isn’t performing to what we feel are their abilities. Sure injuries impact things but depth on the bench should offset that somewhat.

The Rapids have played seven games and have a 2-3-2 record. Their last two games were wins so they will be looking to make it three in a row. It would seem that the confidence will be on the side of the Rapids and with a home game for them the Sounders will have their work cut out for them.

The bright spot is that the Rapids haven’t beaten the Sounders since May of 2010 so let’s hope that’s the case on Saturday as well. Maybe by getting that first win out of the way the Sounders can get back to the business of competing towards the goal of bringing an MLS Cup to Seattle.
Last week the Sounders played the New England Revolution to a 0-0 draw and were eliminated from CONCACAF by Santos Laguna, so the Sounders need to come out on the pitch with focus and energy. They have to find something to build off of.

Tune in Saturday and watch the Sounders play at 3pm.
As a side note I just wanted to put my thoughts out there about the bombings in Boston. I feel like most Americans that we should never have to feel unsafe at a sporting event, whether it’s a marathon, a football game or any other event.

We need to get back out there without fear because that is what these lunatics seem to feed off of. They want us to be fearful to go and attend events. So don’t give in. Get out and show those crazy lunatics that we are united in all things and we won’t be driven inside by fear.
Go out and celebrate this great county and the freedom we have by getting out to an event this weekend (even if it isn’t the Sounders game) and have a great time!

GO SOUNDERS!!!!!
United for Boston!

The Seattle Sports Hub: 2013 Seahawks Schedule analysis

By Aaron Bean

How I, Aaron Bean see the season panning out:

Week 1: Seahawks @ Panthers 10:00am PST
           
The Panthers are not as bad as their record last year might suggest. They have a very talented, but underutilized, running game. They have one of the better WRs in the league with Steve Smith. Their defense is nothing spectacular but not as bad as many teams. I think the vast majority of pundits will pick the ‘hawks in this game, and so will I. Chalk up win one for the good guys.

Week 2: 49ers @ Seahawks 5:30 PST

Why the NFL scheduled the ‘hawks for a 10am PST game on the east coast then a evening game on the west coast baffles me, but regardless this will be a prime time game, in Seattle where the 12th man will come out in force. I don’t need to tell you how good the 49ers are. I shouldn’t have to remind you what happened the last time they came into CenturyLink. In a tough, physical game the ‘hawks win in front of a frenzied home crowd.

Legendary Husky’s Basketball Coach dies at 95




By Nicole Matheson
With his son by his side, legendary former Husky coach Marv Harshman Last Friday listened to comforting bible verses, closed his eyes and drifted into a peaceful slumber, never to wake again.

Harshman concluded his 40-year long coaching reign at the University of Washington where he trained and mentored names like Steve Hawes, Chris Welp, Detlef Schrempf and current coach, Lorenzo Romar.

“We obviously lost a legend. I learned so much from Coach,” Romar reflected in a statement. “I went to Washington expecting to play with a legendary coach, I didn’t know I would get the bonus of playing for a legendary person.”

“He taught me how to play basketball the right way and that had a lasting impact on me and many people,” Schrempf professed.

Coaching from the west to the east (and back to the west) of Washington state, Harshman debuted his coaching career at his alma mater, Pacific Lutheran University, winning four NAIA District I titles. From there he moved to eastern Washington where he coached for Washington State University going 155-181 for 13 seasons. His coaching career ended with 14 seasons on the west side of the Cascades at University of Washington. While with the Huskies, Harshman he led them to three NCAA tournaments and won more than 20 games in the regular season four times becoming the second most victories of all time for a coach in UW history (246-146).
 Harshman was not only an award winning coach looking to build accolades, he was thought of as a monument in the college basketball community attending college basketball games a few times during the season. He was a man with many capacities including writing an autobiography and coaching football in the early years of his career confusing to the Seattle P-I in 2007 that he liked football better. Astonishing to think that a man with 600 victories under his belt coaching basketball preferred football.
  When remembering his father, Dave Harshman fondly revealed a woman’s statement she personally made to him saying, “If there were more people in the world like Marv Harshman the world would be a better place.”

Seattle Sounders Report: 4-9-13: Sounders seek first win; face Santos Laguna tonight

By Christina Schell
 To say that the Seattle Sounders are struggling would be an understatement, at this point in the season, they are struggling big time.

Their MLS record now stands at 0-3-1 which is hard to look at. We all see a coach we know can coach and players we know have talent, so what’s the problem in Seattle?
I have no explanation for it myself, we can say the usual things like the players need to adjust to each other, it’s early in the season don’t panic and the other ways we convince ourselves that this will pass.
I’ve seen plenty of comments saying it’s time to axe Sigi and get a new coach, maybe they have a point. Perhaps they need someone to come in with a fresh approach but I for one am not in favor of making coaching changes during the season. I think those folks should just relax and let’s see where things stand at the end of this very long MLS season.

The Sounders need to fix something and whether they can fix it tonight on the road in their CONCACAF second leg match against Santos Laguna will be seen. They have a tough task ahead of them especially after letting Santos get a valuable away goal in Seattle in their 1-0 win over the Sounders last week.
The Sounders have lost their last three competitions, it’s not like they have any momentum carrying them into Torreon Mexico tonight. Santos Laguna on the other hand has gone unbeaten in their last seven league games, so they do have some positive momentum coming into tonight’s matchup. I guess its gut check time for the Sounders.

The team seems positive that they can make history tonight and come away with a win and I hope they can. Eddie Johnson has made the trip and could be a key player coming off the bench. It would be nice to see Eddie come off the bench and score a couple of goals.

The Sounders can make history tonight but it won’t come easy and the memory of the 6-1 loss last year against Santos still lingers.  Perhaps it’s that memory that will propel the Sounders into making history tonight.
Scoring one goal or drawing at 1-1 will allow Santos to advance so the Sounders will need to score at least two goals to advance and not let Santos score. A task made more difficult considering they are on the road against a good Santos Laguna team that knows how to score.
Michael Gspurning will be back in the box for Seattle after serving his suspension last week for an accumulation of yellow cards. He will be a key in tonight’s matchup and can make a difference with his ball distribution.
I always have faith that my team can win and tonight is no exception. I hope to see the Sounders move on and have a historical evening in Mexico.
Tune in tonight to FOX Soccer at 5 pm to see all the action.
UP THE SOUNDERS!!!!

Mariners open the season tonight with young players, optimism?

Well, hello Mr. Sunshine. Hello warm weather, hello pollen count and allergies. Yes its spring in time again, and with spring time brings OPENING DAY in Major League Baseball.  I know, it hasn't been very fun to watch the Mariners these last, oh say, 35 years or so. and after their push to stop Mr. Hansen's arena deal, it is even harder.  There is one thing you have to remember, those players on the field  aren't the ones who opposed the deal. They didn't do the commercials, they are the ones that are out there trying to win games. And win they will. It is all a mater of how many?

Seattle Sounders Report 3-29-13: Sounders Fall to the Quakes

Last Saturday was another disappointing trip to San Jose with the Sounders leaving with another loss.

It was a goal by Wondolowski at the end of the first half and that’s all it took. Wondolowski sent the shot in hot from outside the box and the ball went inside the far post for the goal.
Both teams were missing players due to either injury or international duties but the Sounders in their first three games have a loss, a draw and a loss. Not exactly the start I was hoping to see the Sounders make even down a couple of players.

The match against the Earthquakes tends to be a physical affair and Saturday was no different, these two teams just don’t like each other. As a Sounders fan I was happy I didn’t have to watch Lenhart clown around on the pitch like he usually does.
So now with a 0-1-2 record and one goal in three games, the Sounders face Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday. We should see the return of Eddie Johnson which should give the team a boost. I cannot wait to Obafemi Martins start and play an entire game; we’ll see what Sigi does Saturday. He should be starting Johnson and Martins together and we will see what that speed nets the Sounders.

Mario Martinez will also be returning from his duty with Honduras but may not play until the Sounders play Santos Laguna next Tuesday in their CONCACAF Champions League Semi-Final.
Brad Evans and Shalrie Joseph should also be available Saturday against Real Salt Lake.

Seeing the Sounders in last place in the Western Conference gives me an uneasy feeling I don’t like so three points on Saturday would be a huge boost for this team. They will have to go out and earn it because both teams need a win. Real Salt Lake comes into the game with just 4 points and a record of 1-2-1 so in my mind they are vulnerable.

The game against RSL will be at 6 p.m

I also wanted to mention that the US Men’s National Team did well in their last two 2014 World Cup qualifiers. The USMNT got a win in the Colorado snow over Costa Rica last Friday night followed by a 0-0 draw with Mexico at the famous Azteca last Tuesday.
The International team is slowly making strides in the right direction. While in the game against Mexico they were fortunate to get away with a penalty in the box, they still played Mexico really well. Many players are getting international experience by playing overseas and it shows on the pitch.

  If anyone has any questions, feel free to let me know by commenting here, contacting us on twitter @SeattleSprtsHub or by e-mail taylor_gombos@yahoo.com. We look forward to hearing from all of you this coming Sunday @ 7 p.m. 
  Thank you all for your support, and again we look forward to hearing from you all on the show.
